Has anyone here felt scared about being pregnant?

Question

Has anyone here had a child at a young age? And if so, how did your parents react? Was your family disappointed that you had a child at a young age? If so, how did you cope with it?

Answer 1

I was a little scared with the first one. I wasn't all that young; I was living on my own and my parents knew the man I was with. We married shortly after I became pregnant and my parents were pretty accepting of the fact that I was pregnant. After all, what could they do about it? My mom did admit that the day before I told her I was pregnant she had a thought that she wished I wouldn't get pregnant and have to put my life on hold. I'm still attending college, which I'd probably be done with had I waited to have my kids, but without them I might not have been inspired enough to further my education.

Being pregnant is scary at any age. I am pregnant at 22 and am not married but in a happy relationship and although i am an adult i was worried to tell my parents just because im not where i want to be in life but truth of the matter is i dont think anyone is really ever ready to become a parent. My parents were shocked at first but now they are very excited. At a younger age such as being a teenager would be harder for sure. I have friends who were in their teens when they had a baby and everything always finds a way to work out. Fmaily members who are upset almost always come around after the initial shock and come to love the baby.

I am 19 years old and 36 weeks pregnant with my first baby.. 19 isn't really that young.. but my family (other than my parents) took it pretty hard. I am lucky to have parents that were excited..

I have a cousin who had her first baby at 16.. SHE was frowned upon by a lot of people but just stayed strong about it and didn't let other people know that she was scared.. and now she has 3 BEAUTIFUL little girls and is one of the best moms I've ever known..

Being pregnant is scarry.. if it is your first child.. no matter what age you are. It's very common that women feel so many mixed emotions about it.. like "What if I'm not a good mom?" .. "How do I raise this child right?" .. "Why do I sometimes feel like I don't want my baby?" .. "What if I don't love him/her as much as I should?" .. it's all pretty scarry..

I've talked to a lot of women about it and they pretty much all told me that it goes away after you have your baby.. you're not scared anymore.. and you DO love your baby as much as you should. Don't be scared. If you're pregnant then CONGRATS .. babies are such blessings!

Well, it's not that your parents are gonna throw a party to celebrate. Most of them are very upset once they hear the news but with time things change, cause one is pregnant allready and what is done is done, there's nothing you can do but face it. Most parents are upset at the begining but as weeks go by they start changing. It is scary at any age I think to be pregnant, cause you know you're life is gonna change forever. Change in a good way but forever. Sometimes there are negative things about having a child very young, but sometimes it's just very nice cause one has got all the energy to raise that child and because one has still got time to do so many things in life. It's hard but it's worth it. Once you have a baby you realize that there's nothing, NOTHING better than that.

Answer 5

I am scared at being pregnant and I am an adult. We have tried for six years. It can't be easy being young but my parents though I was out of the house told me I didn't need to get pregnant. But I told them this week and they were thrilled. Your parents might be mad for a little but they will come to love your child. I hope things work out well. I am eight weeks

Answer 6

I am 16 and was pregnant. I had a misscarriage at almost 3 months. I didnt live with my parents but they knew about it. I was horrifies at first because I didnt know what people were going to think but after I told them and the person that I lived with I felt better because they were there for me and helped me. And even if your parent dont approve they will soon learn that you are there baby also and you are going to need there support and hopefully they understand..

~Everyone~ has felt scared about being pregnant, and age has nothing to do with it. See a counsoler if you can't talk to your parents. And you aren't the first girl to have a baby young, you won't be the last. Also, make sure you see a doctor regularly.

Answer 9

I'm scared to death. This is my first pregnancy. I am worried about everything because my body is changing so much I'm not used to it. I got pregnant at 21 and still am. My parents weren't really thrilled but I got married to the father in October. Things have been wonderful now.

Answer 10

call one guy or woman who does not experience aggravating approximately being pregnant. all the existence variety is approximately to alter, and it should not be the same for a minimum of 18 years, possibly on no account! there are a number of "cool" people who won't admit to being aggravating, and doubtless do not even think of they are aggravating, yet beleive me, they are. Take as many parenting instructions, counseling classes and different appropriate centers (like planned parenthood) as you could greater healthful into something of your being pregnant. very few all of us is fortunate sufficient to be good moms and dads with out them. bear in mind that!
